31 St Felix Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 31 St Felix Street in Fort Greene, owned by Erica Gorochow and constructed in 2004, has experienced several significant issues over the past five years. Most notably, in March 2020, multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Health regarding construction lead dust affecting both common areas and individual apartments, though these complaints remain marked as "In Progress" with no recorded resolution.

The building has also faced compliance challenges with bedbug reporting requirements, receiving four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC. An environmental control board violation occurred in March 2020 related to improper HVAC unit dismantling and plumbing work with active gas lines, though this was subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed. Between 2020 and 2023, the building underwent various permitted work projects, with permits issued in September 2020, July 2021, and September 2021 for unspecified work under EW permits.

There were also three Department of Buildings complaints filed in March 2020, though inspections conducted in September 2020 found no violations warranting further action. More recently, the bedbug reporting situation appears to have stabilized, with the most recent 2025 filing (for the period November 2023 - October 2024) showing no infested or re-infested units, following a similar situation in the prior reporting period (2022-2023). While the building has had its share of regulatory challenges, both the recent bedbug reportings and the absence of new violations since mid-2020 suggest improved compliance with housing requirements.
